Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane is upset with Barcelona rival Ronald Koeman discussing their win at Eibar.
A controversial moment occurred when a Yoshinori Muto header inadvertently hit the elbow of Sergio Ramos in the box, which Koeman said in his press conference on Monday should have been a penalty.
“It bothers me because I never get involved with the referees,” Zidane said when asked about Koeman’s comments during Tuesday’s pre-match press conference.
“The referees are part of the game. They can make mistakes, like the players and like all of us in life. With respect to the comments from Koeman, I’m not saying anything as I’m just thinking about tomorrow’s game [against Granada].
There have been five penalties awarded against Real Madrid since Barcelona‘s complaints, so does Zidane think there is any reason behind this?
“It is true that there is a lot of talk when there is something specific with Madrid and the referees, this is what Madrid [have to deal with],” he explained.
“It’s a bit annoying talking about this, we are interested in tomorrow’s match. We have to be focused.”
